For the villagers it is now clear that Salem is a battleground for Good versus Evil, with new accusations, arrests and examinations continuing daily. The main accusers are girls and young women, whose vivid dreams and visions are accepted as proof of witchcraft by the village leadership. In front of an unruly audience, each suspect, including a four-year-old, faces harsh questioning from biased authorities, as a mob of the afflicted shout accusations. Eventually, the afflicted young women stun the authorities when they name the ringleader behind the demonic conspiracy: a former minister of Salem Village, George Burroughs.
The WITCHES OF SALEM miniseries unravels the hysteria that unfoldedduring the Salem witch trials, and led to the execution of 20 women in an affluent New England community. This docu-drama is a real-life horror story with young teenage girls tragically accused and convicted by the shadowy adults lurking in the background. The series draws on extensive historical documents and court records to bring this drama to life.
